It is also dependent on what the person looking       at the data has.              If you want to present it so they can see it, create a PDF book of the       family or families. I use FTM to create books that have the main line       family with each maternal family. I include a table of contents and       and index and print it as a PDF file. In PDF format it can nearly be       read by any one with a computer, tablet, or smartphone.              The book contains all of my notes, comments, and all of the facts on       each ancestor. It also contains text documents with discussions of       problem connections, and stories of the family.              If they all have a copy of some genealogy program like Family Tree Maker       or Rootsmagic, then you could just put your database on line and let       them down load it.              You could put it online as a Gedcom file, it can be read by something       like Windows Notepad, but is not very user friendly.              A slightly more user friendly presentation would be jpgs on each person       in your tree with the facts and figures.                     --       2018: The year we learn to play the great game of Euchre              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
